DRUID HILLS COMMUNITY PARTNERS

DHCA is one of many neighborhood organizations that support the Druid Hills community. Each group has a unique mission and role to fill within the neighborhood.  We often collaborate on events and do whatever we can to support each other's efforts.

Druid Hills Patrol hires off-duty police officers to regularly patrol our neighborhood and supplement DeKalb County and City of Atlanta police services. It is funded by its stand-alone membership and is run by volunteers.

OLPA oversees and protects the Olmsted Linear Park, a chain of small parks that run along Ponce de Leon Ave. The park, as well as the historic Druid Hills neighborhood were designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.

The Emory Village Alliance (EVA) is a nonprofit community organization committed to the vitality of the historic, commercial heart of Druid Hills in Emory Village. Our alliance of volunteer stakeholders includes residents, businesses, property owners, and representatives of Emory University.

Freedom Park Conservancy, a non profit organization, raises money to promote the improvement and preservation of the park for a diverse public.

South Fork Conservancy is a local nonprofit which works to restore the banks of the South Fork of Peachtree Creek. We return these restored green spaces to the neighbors in communities along the creek banks by connecting people with nature trails.

Callanwolde's mission is to provide the Atlanta community with premier, accessible arts education, especially to the underserved, while promoting enjoyment of the arts at the historic and inspiring Callanwolde estate.

KEEPING RESIDENTS IN THE KNOW

NEIGHBORS, TAKE ACTION!

Our community is part of the heart of intown living in the metro Atlanta area. DeKalb County and the City of Atlanta have limited funds to tackle a variety of infrastructure and amenity projects, and our neighborhood's needs are often overlooked. The DHCA actively advocates for action with city and county officials, but the loudest voices are most often heard. That's where our residents come in! Please help us write to these officials so that things like our sidewalks, twittens, the train bridge and more might be moved up their priority list. Check out our "Residents, Take Action" page to download email templates, get current contact information, and more!

DRUID HILLS PARENT GROUP

As the only neighborhood in the South designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Druid Hills stands apart from the other Intown neighborhoods in Atlanta, for the quality and integrity of its historic architecture and for the sweeping wide open spaces and the soaring canopy of its mature hardwoods.

In order to protect the integrity and historic legacy of the neighborhood Druid Hills has been established as a historic district.  Anyone who wishes to make significant changes to their properties must apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) through either the City of Atlanta or DeKalb County, depending on where your property is.  The two principal jurisdictions are the DeKalb County Historic District and the City of Atlanta Landmark District.

Thanks for helping us preserve and protect the unique heritage of historic Druid Hills. Read more about how historic preservation got started in Druid Hills here.
